Crypto trading is becoming more and more popular, especially with younger traders who are keen to start their first investment portfolios.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, although these crypto assets have the potential to make you lots of money, it doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re not subject to tax. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/hmrc-internal-manuals\/cryptoassets-manual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HMRC<\/a> might not deem crypto to be actual money, but they still see it as a type of personal investment.

Some of the most popular types of crypto include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bitcoin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Litecoin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tether<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardano<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bitcoin Cash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethereum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zcash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stella Lumen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- .c-body -->\n\n<div class=\"b-highlight-mini m-nude m-align-left\">\n    <div class=\"b-block-body\">\n        <h2>Why is crypto becoming so popular to trade?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Crypto is believed to be the currency of the future. Many people are investing in them, and buying and selling different types for profit. Some are buying them now before they become more valuable.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Most cryptocurrencies remove the central banking element from managing money supplies. Over time, banks usually reduce the value of money via inflation. This doesn&#8217;t happen with crypto.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It\u2019s more secure. Crypto uses a technology called blockchain, which is a decentralised processing and recording system that is thought to be more secure than traditional payment methods.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Some people are using crypto as a way to move money more cheaply and easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because of these reasons, the value and potential of crypto is increasing. As a result, more and more traders are looking to invest in crypto to make profits and increase their investment portfolios.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div> <!-- .b-highlight-mini -->\n\n<div class=\"c-body\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can you not cash out crypto tax-free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At different points in its thirteen year history, crypto has fluctuated in value. For example, anyone who bought Bitcoin in 2008 when it was worth fractions of a pound could potentially have made hundreds of millions of pounds in profit in 2021 when its value hit around \u00a340,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto trading has a reputation of being like gambling, but unlike gambling, you\u2019ll most likely be liable to pay tax on your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hold crypto as a personal investment, you\u2019re liable to pay Capital Gains Tax on any profit you make from them. You\u2019ll only pay CGT on the profit above your Capital Gains Tax allowance. Plus, you could be subject to other taxes depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- .c-body -->\n\n<div class=\"b-highlight-mini m-neutral m-align-left\">\n    <div class=\"b-block-body\">\n        <p><b>Capital gains tax<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rates in the 2025\/26 tax year.
